The Best Things
  • Regular trains and buses away from town. Hospital nearby to remove shard of glass lodged in skull on saturday night. Police station close by for similar reason (roughly 5 minute walk). Many pubs to choose from to help blank out misery all around, but only give this a try if you back yourself against some of the valleys' 'ardest.
  • Game shop Newbridge Fields
  • Tracy Jimson. who is married & is now Tracy Morgan. is looking good, I have seen her on supersize Vs superskinny, & I saw her on Ant & Dec,she must of won about 60 grand to date. I didn't think much of her in school, but I have seen her out in town a lot lately & she is look good, She is like a celebrity & she don't even no it, I want to spend the night with her, much better looking now she is older........
  • the said Five Bells, the memorial in Dunraven Place, Merthyrmawr and always going to Ogmore by Sea
  • LAVA & IGNITE
  • bridgend
  • the owner at lucindas entertainment bar
  • You got the town centre and McArthur Glen. Both between them have quite a good array of shops, and because all the shops at McArthur Glen are outlets, that means they are cheaper than the usual stores because they sell mostly discontinued stock from the previous season.
  • the road out of town
  • The Old Bridge and the Jewellery shop on it. The Castles in the nearby area are good to
  • clothes shops
  • Bridgend has something close to the largest amount of pubs and clubs within one square mile in the UK. Might be the largest actually. There are loads of them, Bowlers, Ikon, Route 66, Witherspoons, Three Horseshoes, The Vic, Cody's, Tuskers, Courthouse, The Roof, Jaggers, Monroe's, O'Neills, and I'm sure there are more I've forgotten.
  • The live music especially at the Tollhouse. The cruddy shops that make you want to go to Cardiff on a night out. The fact that Ikon will be closed for three months really soon
  • Hmm the fields probably
  • THE GIRLS AND BRYNTEG
  • Crime Rates are not bad, compared to other places. Its in between Cardiff and Swansea. The M4. The beach is 5 mins away.
  • ?'=-!"£$%^&*(&*^%%^&$^^^$%%$$%%$$%! that answers that
  • ...I'm thinking. There is a very nice jewelery shop in the Rhiw Arcade, Tusker for a quite drink, oh and Tino's chip shop. It's a short list.
  • BRYNTIRION IS THE BEST
  • the girls
  • 10 mins to the beach 10 mins to the motorway Green hills and mountins 10 mins away Rugby International day Atmosphere Sax Free Bar

  • # they leave the christmas decorations up all year
  • Rhiw
  • The tollhouse
  • the gravy and chips
  • knowing the people and the guarentee that local spotty oy from schol will be about every xmas
  • Getting drunk with friends to blot out the abject horror that inhabits Brigend.
  • To the girl with obsession with Craig. Craig Hillman lives near Tescos and works in Tescos. And his ****? Not really that big. But he does kiss pretty amazingly. Do U really think he is that good looking though? Nice eyes! Can't think of any best things while I'm here. Are there any "best things" in Bridgend? Apart from me of course!
  • Quite possibly Andrew Ruck. He is so cute and well endowed. Shame about his bad habits but nothing that can't be sorted out. ;-)
  • Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.... Can't think of anything worth mentioning.
  • The Pines/ Cinema
  • The road to Maesteg.
  • the atmosphere - party party party
  • The ongoing inter-school rivalry; especially between the two 'Bryns'. Oh, so sweet, bless 'em.
  • Everything, you don't appreciate the place until you leave. The best thing is that it'll always be home and you're mates are always up for a beer! And of course all the Bridgend grrls-of all shapes and sizes! Nick Clement - He was lush!
  • Its Bridgend! The fighting, the pubs, the townies we love it really.

  • gem lives here she is sooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!!!!
  • the tasty babes from litchard!!!!!!
  • it's near the sea. It's near the M4 It has a good train service to get out
  • Bryntirion Comprehensive school. Although slightly smaller than its nearest counterpart, Brynteg, Bryntirion is by far the better educational institution, for the sole reason, we have a swimming pool, and an extrodinarily fat selection of head teachers.
  • Bryntirion is so much better than Bryteg. Brynteg is full of townies, beware.
  • The people (the town itself is an embarrassment). Also very close proximity to the sea and the hills/valleys. As my Gramps used to say, '[Bridgend] is a dirty picture in a golden frame'. Bless him.
  • * The new bridge between Pen-y-fai and Wildmill. I like it, anyway. And don't tell me, Miss Lynn, that St. Patrick's is in Litchard. * Price's, definitely. The Pines wouldn't be the same. Great staff, too. Especially that tall, good-looking dark-haired bloke. Aye, 4 real!
  • IN BETTWS? THE PEOPLE, THE FRIENDS, THE ADVENTURES IN THE WOODS WHEN I WAS YOUNG, THERE WAS ALWAYS A SWING IN A TREE DOWN STARLING WOOD ANY ONE REMEMBER? IS IT STILL THERE? BOY I MISS IT NOW!!!!
  • * WILDMILL * THIS GIRL I FANCY * WILDMILL (SO GOOD WORTH MENTIONING TWICE) * BOWLERS * DJ ROB IN ASTONS WHO WILL PLAY THE MANICS FOR ME
  • My brother Richard Barrett lives there - and my mate Steve Rees
  • Archbishop McGrath school! Nevamind Brynteg, Brytirion or any of the other Minner Centrals, Archie is da place 2 B. Eugene is da boss.
  • The best thing about living in Bridgend is deffinately the amount of lookalikes that we have in the area. Now, we'll start with the best and wotk our way down. Firstly, there's a very special man who goes mad if you shout Paul Daniels, you all know who i mean (Traffic Warden). Secondly, there is the guy who works in the old Dunn & Co (The one with the Eddie Murphy laugh)! Also recently i have spotted Noel Edmunds working in Burtons! Please enter your own lookalikes in the near future.
  • Several pubs are licensed until 1 or 2am. The beach is only 3 miles away. Bridgend folk are usually friendly and always up for a good time! The McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Village is pretty good. The M4 is only about 2 miles from Bridgend - you can be in London in 2 hours and get to anywhere in the country easily! Bridgend in on the edge of the Vale which is a beautiful area, lots of small pretty villages, good country pubs and windy lanes. Worth a visit.
  • don't ask
  • Hmm, probably the easy access to the M4 and main line train routes, making it easy to escape!
  • Bridgend College department of Arts and Entertainment... long overdue!!
  • Craig Hillman i don't know where he lives exactly but a friend of mine said it was near brynteg. He is very cute and has a sexy smile, tight little but you just wanna squeeze, and he has a huge **** he always has a massive bulge in his trousers and i wouldn't mind seeing it up close. Craig look in my eyes there's no disguise cos i'm in love with you. Finally found what i've been looking for now i'm gonna love you more now it's clear that it's alway been you (Honeyz, Finally found)
  • The best thing in Bridgend is the gorgeous Bloke who works in Mend-a-shu, go in and have a look, they also do really good signs and stickers for shops and cars, and they are reasonable too, not like Paul Hoopers or the others around.
  • I feel compelled to write in and finally solve the arguement over which school is better, Brynteg or Bryntirion? Well, let me now solve this rather silly and futile dispute. After being a student in both schools, I have to admit that sadly, Bryntirion is by far the better school. This is however, not probably for the reasons you might think, and please, read on before you withdraw your children from Brynteg. The reason is this, Brynteg has too many God Damn GINGER teachers, one in particular who is in a position of authority. How can a school be any good if they put a GINGER bloke, a rather pathetic ginger bloke in such a high position and expect the school to be taken seriously? I must add however, that if the governers of Brynteg were to actually take all the GINGER teachers to the wonderfull Mr. Roderick's Chemistry lab, and using the wonderful, substance hydrogen peroxide, actually bleach the hair on these social outcasts/misfits, then Brynteg would undoubtedly be the better school. >From one who knows, and has spent many DAYS thinking about this.
  • Brackla Baptist Church, the fastest growing church in South Wales (started 1996)
  • I used to live in pen y bont and Brynteg is by far the best school and much better than Bryntirion
  • a nice compact town...friendly
  • Speaking as a former pupil of the school, Brynteg kicks the **** out of anything Bryntyrion does and regularly stuffed them at everything. I'll say one thing for the Bryntyrion school though, it has produced some of the coolest people I know.
  • Good when it's raining. Mike Jenkins lives here.
  • Southerndown beach is about three miles away; good waves for surfing.
  • Best School: Bryntirion Comprehensive School (No Bias!)
  • I think that Brynteg Comprehensive School is far better than Bryntirion School.
  • The best event is Bridgend Beer and Balloon Festival which is an annual event. You can drink lots of beer and then do a Bungee Jump!
  • Bridgend RFC, produces all best players.
  • Brynteg is the best school in Bridgend
  • Beer, Curry, Rugby.
  • Bridgend College is a must for anybody embarking on a long term strategy to escape Bridgend!! The Business School, now headed by Rob Evans, is the best around, and enabled me to move on the greater and better things!!! Just look at Sian Lloyd for example, the ITV weather girl, he got out, via Bridgend Colllege.
  • All my Very good friends live there.
